[QUOTE="Coops Dad, post: 25924317, member: 572018"] Next time, bring him back and tell the owner "you know, I keep blocks of rat poison around because of the chickens and feed. Your dog managed to find a block but I think I got it away from him before he ate any. Now that he knows where it is, he might go straight for it next time." My neighbor's dog broke into our back pasture 4 times in the course of three weeks- it was 5' goat fence topped with 2 strands of barbed wire but he found a weak spot and was able to push his way under. In those 4 visits, he killed over 14 chickens, IIRC. The owner said his dogs always had free reign of the neighborhood, never bothered anyone (found out that it killed their own chickens and chewed the ears off their goats), it wasn't fair to keep them penned up all day, etc. He even told me that Texas doesn't have a leash law. I called the sheriff for advice and she told me there's no leash law, but there is a "dog at large" law. If the dog harasses or attacks people, pets or livestock, the owner can be cited with no further warnings. She told me to skip all that, though, and just shoot the d****d thing. Perfectly legal. After the fourth time, I went to have a face-to-face chat and made it crystal clear that if his dog came on our land again, I would shoot it dead on the spot. He decided it was more fair to keep the dog penned up all day than to dig a hole for the family dog. [/QUOTE]
